Differentiate two views with buttons - laravel

Question

I have a view in which I display two data that I take from a table of a DB and next to these data I have two buttons that take me to the same view in which I need to display other things.
What I can't figure out is, how do I differentiate the view AFTER pressing the button?
Here there are the images of the two view:

The code is the following:
Controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Device;
use App\Models\DataFromRasp;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Symfony\Component\Process\Process;
use Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\ProcessFailedException;
class DeviceController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$data=Device::all();
return view('backend.auth.user.device', compact("data"));
}
public function create()
{
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
}
public function show(Device $deviceID)
{
}
public function edit(Device $device)
{
//
}
public function update(Request $request, Device $device)
{
//
}
public function destroy(Device $device)
{
//
}
/**
* Displays all data present in the table data_from_rasps
*
* The data are all the devices that the raspberry can capture
*/
public function visualizeData()
{
$data=DataFromRasp::paginate(10);
return view('backend.auth.user.dictionary', compact("data"));
}
/**
* Raspberry capture and send the data to the DB and save in another
* table of the same DB the MAC addresses of interest
*/
public function getData(Request $request)
{
$m_data = $request->get('m_data');
$r_data = $request->get('r_data');
DataFromRasp::create(['MAC' => $m_data, 'RSSI' => $r_data]);
if(($m_data == 'C4:A5:DF:24:05:7E') and Device::where('MAC_ADDR', $request->m_data)->doesntExist()){
Device::create(['USERNAME'=>'Device1','MAC_ADDR' => $m_data]);
}
if(($m_data == '70:1C:E7:E4:71:DA') and Device::where('MAC_ADDR', $request->m_data)->doesntExist()){
Device::create(['USERNAME' => 'Device2','MAC_ADDR' => $m_data]);
}
}
public function scan()
{
$process = new Process(['C:\Simone\Università\Tirocinio\laravel-boilerplate-master', 'prova.py']);
$process->run();
if (!$process->isSuccessful()) { throw new ProcessFailedException($process); }
return redirect()->route('dict');
}
public function singleDev(Device $deviceID){
$data = DataFromRasp::select('RSSI', 'created_at')->where('MAC', 'C4:A5:DF:24:05:7E')->get();
$time_array = [];
$rssi_array = [];
$cnt = 0;
foreach($data as $dataItem){
array_push($time_array, $dataItem->created_at->format('H:i:s'));
array_push($rssi_array, $dataItem->RSSI);
}
return view('backend.auth.user.singleDevice', compact("time_array", "rssi_array"));
}
}
View where I select the device:
#extends('backend.layouts.app')
#section('content')
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">ID</th>
<th scope="col">USERNAME</th>
<th scope="col">MAC ADDRESS</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach ($data as $item)
<tr>
<th scope="row">{{$item->id}}</th>
<td>{{$item->USERNAME}}</td>
<td>{{$item->MAC_ADDR}}</td>
<td>
Select
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
#endsection
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try to use this code
Select
Instead of
Select
Updated!
I a little bit didn't get what you trying to achieve, but why didnt your try to add another button next to it, to show another view?

Answer 2

You could create an if statement to determine if one of the buttons is pressed whenever you load the page.
In blade
<button type="submit" name="device_id" value="$item->id">Select</button>
In controller
$data=Device::all();
$singleDevice = Device::where('id', '=', Input::get('device_id'))->first();
if($singleDevice === null)
{
return view('backend.auth.user.device', compact("data"));
}
else
{
$time_array = [];
$rssi_array = [];
$cnt = 0;
foreach($singleDevice as $dataItem){
array_push($time_array, $dataItem->created_at->format('H:i:s'));
array_push($rssi_array, $dataItem->RSSI);
}
return view('backend.auth.user.singleDevice', compact("time_array", "rssi_array"));
}
